News / Why mustn`t we allow PiS to rule Poland again? [45]

Because there are still many "privatizations" waiting in line, many "overpriced" public contracts need to be signed, many hospitals waiting to be "commercialized",

Don`t be silly. PiS wants to push PO out to take over all contracts like they used to in the past!

That's why various "interest groups" are keeping this totally incompetent government in charge.

Another conspiracy theory. :):):):): Guys, you are really incredible, could you come up with better arguments?

What I find really sad is that so many people fall for this nonsense,

I never cease to wonder why PiS nonsense still scores popularity at about 25%!

majority either think that Tusk is always right and PiS are some feckin devils,

No, nothing is only black or white.

We need a grass roots movement, basically "politicians start doing your feckin job, you get paid for that".

Tea Party but without PiS, I agree.

But you know it is impossible in Poland as Kaczyński will never give up.

Right, unless It's about Kaczyński's father of course...

I never used his father against him. I am not as stalinist and sick as other guys.

News / Why mustn`t we allow PiS to rule Poland again? [45]

let's see what happens when the people get angry at PO and PSL when they are out of jobs which can happen quite soon -

Do you really believe they will turn down PO and PSL and happily run to choose PiS because it will promise more jobs? Oh sancta naivitas!

there is no way to run in Europe now (not so many jobs anywhere crisis everywhere)

Including Poland. But does PiS have a remedy for it?

A history of Heart transplantation in Poland was connected with Religa.

good point - was Religa evil pawian ??? like all PiS is in your e

Guys, don`t be silly. What kind of argument is that? Religa was a great surgeon, indeed, but leave the past to history, we are talking about the present times. He died in 2009 and had stopped operating much earlier, especially that he was involved in politics.

s

Parallel to his work as a physician, Religa pursued a career in politics. In 1993, he became a member of the Polish senate and was re-elected in 2001. As the centre and right wing of the Polish political landscape has been in constant flux ever since democracy was reinstated, Religa was a member of several parties and organizations. In 1993, he co-founded the Nonpartisan Bloc for Support of Reforms (BBWR) which gathered behind president Lech Wałęsa and was its leader in 1994. In 1995, Religa became the chairman of the short-lived party "The Republicans" (Republikanie) founded by renegade BBWR members who refused to back Wałęsa in the presidential elections of 1995. However, Religa refused to run for president himself, and the Republicans eventually disintegrated when they failed to enter the Sejm in 1997. Spanning the centre and centre-right of Polish politics, Religa was well-placed to play a significant role in the newly created Conservative People's Party (SKL), which became part of the Solidarity Electoral Action (AWS) in 1997. In 2004, Religa was involved in founding the new Centrum Party and was elected to the position of honorary chairman.

Travel / Greatest Old Towns in Poland [74]

Oh, I see.

Biecz - according to a legend, a school of hangmen was located in Biecz.

Grybów, a tiny town in southern Poland, we always pass through it going on holidays:

Grybow, Poland

Unfortunately, Old Towns make only a small part of the settlements they are located in. E.g., Krakow`s Old town is less than 10% of the city`s area:

s

Can you see that iregular oval in the middle? So small....

Krakow

The reason?
Comparing to European standards, Polish towns had rather low population when they originated and developed a few centuries ago.

see if the mods care about my extraordinarily abusive language pawian :P:)

Trying to jokingly avoid inconvenient questions? I asked you a very important one:

Even if that is true, these media are operating in an independent country today, in the free market. They can be chosen or rejected by readers, viewers and listeners. And what is their free choice? Do you want to introduce a ban on free media because most Poles are against PiS?

I also pointed to the tragedy of patients:

I showed statistics which clearly say that the number of heart transplants dropped significantly in 2007 and hasn`t returned to the previous level. PiS wanted to have a spectacular success, but they consciously chose the death of patients.

Yes! These maniacs will pact with the Devil to reach their aims.

Funny I have the same feeling about you. :):):)

what you have been fed by the media

Excuse me, Sir, I use my brain too, from time to time. :):):)

I wish you a new PiS govermnent in the next elections :)

Spit it out!!! Now!!

btw it's not your thread - it belongs to all

Yes, but I originated it and I am personally responsible for it. When sth goes wrong, I will be held responsible by the mods for not taking care of my thread. That is why, if you want to talk conspiracy theories, start new or go to old threads about Lepper etc.

If that has been run by criminals everybody is lucky to survive the experience.

because they are corrupt from the very start - Michnik stole Gazeta Wyborcza from Solidarność and appropriated donations from American polonia - TVN was established by a branch of military intelligence collaborators - Solorz was a collaborator of SB

ever heard about Andrzej Żydek pawian ???

No. Should I?

you must have - this land is ruled by corruption and there is only one political force in Poland that is determined to change it

If you mean PiS, you are wrong. They are the biggest maniacs in Poland and after getting power, they will not fight corruption and other crimes but will take revenge on their today`s political opponents.

what about all of those strange suicides like Lepper's

:):):):) I heard about them, but please, don`t start crazy conspiracy theories in my thread. :):):) It is really enough when we discuss such hot topic as maniacs at power.

I wasn't going to take part in this but now I must ask-what the fact that his parents were in SB has to do with his actions?If you think that's some real argument you're mistaken.

It is an old stalinist method to hold children responsible for their parents` deeds.

Today, those who try to press the judge by pointing to his mother, are true heirs of Stalin, indeed.

So he is guilty!

Yes! But PiS made him Dr Mengele for publicity reasons and destroyed the transplantation programme in the whole region! You are lucky one of your parents wasn`t registered for a heart operation in 2007!

The number of heart transplantations dropped by 60%. How many lives were lost thanks to PiS stalinist methods?

Dirty politics of PiS probably cost about 100 people their lives.

Heart transplants in Poland

Before
2004 -104
2005 - 95
2006 - 93

After
2007 - 64

2010 - 79
2011 - 80.

there is not enough prosecutors in reserve so that PiS would nominate their own prosecutors - these were regular prosecutors

By nominated I meant chosen for the investigation. Ziobro had a few trusted prosecutors and used them against "Dr Mengele" and they carried out all his orders.

the late interrogations were not done by the CBA but by the prosecution inform yourself better

Nominated by PiS Justice Minister, Ziobro. They did what he told them. And they got rewarded for it with special bonuses.

At the end of the tenure Justice Minister Zbigniew Ziobro appreciated prosecutors investigating the cardiac surgeon Miroslaw G. MIA Hospital Street. Wołoska - notifies the "Life of Warsaw" .

Awards in the amount of 5 to 10 thousand . respectively, were awarded for a special contribution to any serious conduct - confirms national prosecutor Dariusz Barski . I do not remember all the names and things, but I admit that among the winners are people involved in proceedings relating to a cardiac surgeon - he adds.

the media you are talking about are anti-Pis -

News / Why mustn`t we allow PiS to rule Poland again? [45]

because Mr Tuleya told you so - I don't trust him and I wait for a thorough investigation

You don`t trust him because he dared to tell the truth about PiS CBA actions?

btw night interrogation aren't a crime in Poland and are used more often than you would imagine

From 10 pm to 3am, connected with threats and even death?? Come on..... Such interrogations are illegal in Poland

Judge Tuleya raised questions over the methods used by investigators when questioning the accused. He suggested the use of night time questioning and long periods of interrogation were not acceptable. "Night interrogation, arrest - a tactic law enforcement used in the Dr. Miroslaw G. case can create terror. (...) This raises associations not even with the 1980s but with the methods of the 40s and 50s - a time when Stalinism was at its height," said the judge.

The comments have created a political storm as the interrogations took place at a time when the Law and Justice (PiS) party led by Jaroslaw Kaczynski were in power. A parliamentary commission later heard that the justice minister at the time, Zbigniew Ziobro, was felt to be putting excessive pressure on law enforcement agencies to bring charges against suspected criminals.

The former head of the CBA Mariusz Kaminski reacted angrily to the judge's comments and demanded that an investigation into his conduct be carried out. He claimed the judge's comments had insulted the members of the CBA and had tarnished the reputation of the judiciary. "It's irresponsible. You cannot attack officers of the Polish state in this way, while not providing more specific charges," fumed Kaminski.

he judge is an idiot and he will pay for what he said sooner or later - btw his senior already stated that the judge greatly exaggerated and belittled the crimes of stalinism in Poland

Really?:

The judge has received support from the former president of the Constitutional Tribunal Jerzy Stepien who told TVN24 that the judge had done nothing untoward. "He used an adequate comparison, these were Stalinist methods." When asked to comment on Mr. Kaminski's call for disciplinary proceedings to be brought against Judge Tuleya, Mr. Stepien offered to defend Tuleya's right to voice his concerns. "I'd love to be made the judge's lawyer," he told the station.

Independent lawyers are unanimous: CBA/prosecutors used illegal methods.

Nope. Just was curious. Being from the US, I don't see much of that. Like I referred to the colors, "beautiful ". I was intrigued, actually.

Hmm, yes, I also thought about it. I sometimes wonder if those Polish Old Towns aren`t too colourful. After all, bright flashy colours are popularly associated with tasteless gaudiness.

Wroclaw's Rynek shows half a dozen colours that the city gave approval to

Let`s compare.

Wrocław is very flashy

thenews.pl/1/9/Artykul/125822,Speed-camera-plan-hits-government-popularity

The fall in the government's popularity in a new opinion poll is the result of the new plan to introduce more speed cameras on Poland's roads, says a ruling Civic Platform politician.

An opinion poll released on Thursday puts the main opposition party, Law and Justice (PiS), on 30 percent support, one percent more than the senior coalition partner, Civic Platform (PO).

"I think this poll is the result of all the noise about speed cameras and [the government's] national road safety program," vice-president of Civic Platform, Grzegorz Schetyna, told the Radio Zet station, Thursday morning.

A young woman who, being under influence of drugs, killed two boys on a pedestrian crossing was sentenced to 8 years and life ban on driving.
